Bonito is a breed of tuna that swims near the shore off northern Spain. This dolphin-safe, white meat tuna fish is the most valued fish in Northern Spain. There, bonito are caught by fishermen lining the shore, using bamboo rods with long lines. Many small, traditional boats also fill the bay, coming back to port to take their catch to the fish markets. At dawn, the best tunas are separated from the catch and prepared the very same day. This product from Serrats is only made from bonito caught from July to September, when the white tuna fishing season becomes a real economic and social event in the riverside villages.

A tremendous leap in quality from the regular tuna you get at the supermarket, note that this tuna is packed in olive oil in whole fillets, not mashed up slivers like most others. Once you taste this exquisite product, your opinion of tuna will change forever.

Love this tuna...but when it arrived one jar lid was not sealed, small leak, but tuna was still good...must have happened in transit. Will continue to buy, thank goodness it was next day delivery.

Outstanding Tuna

This tuna is so succulent that it needs nothing added. I eat it as is.

Good, but too pricey!

Good mild taste, but not worth 10X the price of store-bought solid white albacore dressed up with olive oil and lemon.

Excellent for the true tuna lover

I have to disagree with the other reviews. I have been using this product for over 10 years. I have tried numerous canned and jarred tuna products and I find that this one is not fishy and has a pure tuna flavor.

delicious

On our frequent trips to Spain, the seafood is always a highlight for my family. This tuna is the best I've had out of the jar, and the boquerones these guys sell are out of this world.

A true Tuna expert

This product lacked that true sea taste I've come to enjoy. This product: taste vs price was no finer than any oil packed tuna on the market.
